How to measure your carbon footprint

Your business carbon footprint comprises of your scope 1, 2 and 3 emissions as defined by the Greenhouse Gas Protocol and ISO 14064 Standard.

The GHG protocol includes multiple standards used by companies, cities and countries to calculate emission outputs for products and value chains. ISO 14064 establishes the standards recognised to be in compliance with the best practices outlined in the GHG Protocol.

Scope 1

Direct Emissions
- Company Owned Vehicles
- Physical / Chemical Processing
- Stationary Combustion
- Fugitive Emissions
Scope 2

Indirect Emissions
- Upstream Emissions
- Purchased Electricity, Heat or Steam
- Downstream Emissions
Scope 3

Other Indirect Emissions
- Business Travel
- Purchased Goods
- Waste Management & Transport
- Process of products and end-of-life treatment
- Investment Franchises

CBAM & embedded emissions calculations

The EU Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM) requires importers of CBAM goods to report and verify their embedded greenhouse gas emissions. CBAM applies to six sectors: cement, iron & steel, aluminium, fertilisers, electricity, and hydrogen.

Embedded emissions include:

Direct Emissions
- From the production process of the CBAM good (equivalent to Scope 1 at the installation level)
Indirect Emissions (where applicable by sector)
- From electricity consumed during production
Precursor emissions
- The embedded emissions of materials used to make the final CBAM good (e.g. iron ore → steel)
